so my tails are tinted and when i put it in reverse i can barely see, what bulbs would be the brightest so it can go through the tint???

 

200 LEDs. muwahahah... Im a loser

 

good Lord thats awesome

but as far as bulbs go, i think superlumination.com has a good one, im gonna give it a try after i tint my tails. they call it "the beacon"

 

I have stock tails and I can hardly see when I'm backing up. I need more light.

 

We dont have GM's... our tail lights werent made to be reverse headlights.

 

for 95/96 get 50 watt 1156.
for 97-99 use 921, not sure if there is an upgrade.

HUH? Whatch you talking bout Tony?

 

Hey jm5464,

NICE...how did you make them? Would you make them for money?

 

i think what ant was saying that american cars are notorious for incredibly bright tails, unlike those of nissans.

also, i think 95-96 bulbs are 1157, not 56. im not positive though.

 

trust me the reverse light are single filament 1156

 

Quite a few GM's, GMC Envoys, Pontian Grand Ams... have BIG reverse lights that are almost like tail lights and their purpose is to light up the rear of the car. Ours were never made for that.

 

u should try these. i might as well get them too, in white of course.

921 Type with 9 LEDs, replaces 194/168 wedge base car bulbs

mcd of 7850

 

jm5464, your reverse LED's are insane.

 

 

Doesn't matter. If they want brighter reverse lights, they want brighter reverse lights.

wow that looks awesome..... howd u get it like that, and would u be able to help me out if i decide to get mine like that, im willing to pay...

 

thank you because this thread is probably goign to turn into something completely different like so many other threads

 

For all of you who wanted to know more about how I made the LED reverse lights here are some pictures of the making: It should be pretty self explanatory except for the wiring, resistors, diodes, and crap but I don't really want to get into that (it gets complicated). http://www.bassmintaudio.com/maxima/...ght%20project/


I get asked every time I post these if I can make a set. I have considered it, but, it is very labor intensive and currently I'm going to school, so, I don't have the time. If I do make them I will post a thread about it this summer.

Parking Lights:


Turns:


And of Course Reverse:

 

I would pay for you to make the tails and the LEDs in the headlights. How much would you charge if u agree to make them over the summer? Im askin so i can save up till then

 

The price is not set yet because I’m still in search of a better LED supplier: I’m trying to find a company that can sell me DOT approved LEDs, the ones in traffic lights and pedestrian crossing signs. I think a pretty accurate estimate is about $700 not including taillight housings (its may seem like alot of money but it is alot of labor the parts are not cheap). You could either ship me your tail lights and be without them for a couple weeks or provided that your taillights are in MINT condition we could work out an exchange to save time.
